Re: [Asterisk-Users] IAX UDP packet dropped on incoming call

2004-10-17 Thread Brian Cuthie
It's probably because the hole in your firewall has closed. Either 
increase the amount of outbound traffic through that port (thus keeping 
the association alive), or modify your firewall to have a fixed port 
mapping to your asterisk box.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] 7960 SIP 7.2 keypress (not DTMF) problem

2004-09-23 Thread Brian Cuthie
This used to happen in 6.3 all the time for me. I upgraded to 7.2 hoping 
that it was one of the things they fixed. But alas it wasn't. It's 
interesting that the key events are getting recognized enough to produce 
the tone feedback, but that those events are not being properly 
communicated to other parts of the software. Makes me really curious 
about the SW architecture of this thing.

there b/c it somehow missed digits.
 
(For example, I dial 93035551212 and hear the correct DTMF in the 
handset, but the display shows 9303551212) It doesn't seem to be digit

Dialing very slow and deliberate seems to help, although I haven't 
done super serious testing of that yet...
 
Any ideas?

[Asterisk-Users] RC1 still broken with Cisco 7960?

2004-09-21 Thread Brian Cuthie
After downloading the latest CVS head and testing it with the Cisco 7960 
(SIP v7.2), it appears that it's still necessary to patch rtp.c to avoid 
audio dropouts.

I'm quite sure my gateway provider is running an older version of 
Asterisk, and I suppose that this may be the root cause. But I mention 
the issue here because it seems like it would be a mistake to ship 
Asterisk 1.0 if it doesn't work properly with Cisco phones (as there are 
undoubtedly a lot of them out there).

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Audio level in compressed wav files

2004-09-13 Thread Brian Cuthie
Unfortunately, this doesn't really work out to be a great solution. The 
dynamic range of the original recording is limited and scaling it after 
the fact just yields fairly distorted sounding recordings.

It seems like the problem is a bug in the implementation of the 
compressed file format encoders, or the process by which they get 
invoked. I guess I'm going to have to dig into the code.

[Asterisk-Users] TDM400 dropping loop current 10 seconds after answer

2004-07-21 Thread Brian Cuthie
Hi everyone,
I have a TDM400 configured with 4 FXS ports, each connected to a 
caller-id analog trunk port on a Nortel system. Outgoing calls work 
great. But on incoming calls it appears that loop current is getting 
dropped momentarily about 10 seconds after the call is answered. Since 
the Nortel system is programmed to recognize this as remote party hangup 
it is causing all incoming calls to get dropped almost immediately. 
Changing from ks to ls in * doesn't make the problem go away.  Any thoughts?

Thanks

Being able to discover a blocked Caller*ID is another matter.  Both

Re: [Asterisk-Users] ISDN BRI with National (north america) Signalling

2004-06-09 Thread Brian Cuthie
Actually, here in Maryland ISDN BRI is cheaper than POTS. POTS business 
lines are like $20 each, and caller-id is around $8.50 per line. So two 
lines with caller-id are about $57. On the other hand, a BRI, which has 
awesome voice quality and includes CLID is $45. If you get a residential 
ISDN line they can be as cheap as ~$30.

And I agree with whomever said that Verizon doesn't quite get it. 
Whenever I call about an ISDN line they try really hard to steer me 
towards DSL. Although if you get to the right business unit they're a 
little better.

Years ago I had a bunch of ATT 7506 phones on a BRI with CO-based 
custom ISDN centrex. It was like having my own $20M switch. Of course 
convincing them that they *could* do this, and that it was a tariffed 
service was difficult. There were times I had to fax them copies of the 
relevant ISDN tariff and pages from the 5ESS provisioning guide.

ISDN can be very, very cool. The Europeans have figured this out, but 
the US telcos are just waiting to be put out of their misery. Hopefully 
VoIP will do it.

While I'm not an ISDN guru, a google for ISDN loopback shows products in
the $150 range that are designed for this. Most seem to be euro, but
there are US products too.
FWIW, I would also be very interested in US BRI ISDN w/ * info. Analog POTS
just blows. Looking through the Verizon tariffs, it seems as conversion
from POTS to BRI is supported and reasonably affordable.

thinking data when you talk to them about it.

Would really like to stick an Asterisk box between the CO and the Nortel

problem is that all the Euro-BRI cards are ST interface. Here in the US 
BRI is delivered from the LEC as a U.

There is a web configuration option to reverse the polarity in the

Yeah, I saw that too. But it doesn't always seem to fire when I think it

I have been using Cisco ATA's for analog connections and

a Sipura SPA-2000 a try. I noticed there is a fair amount of 
background
white noise that is noticeable, especially after breaking the 
dial tone.
After pressing a '1' to break the dial tone, there is a fair amount of
noise that is evident.  I do not notice this condition on the Cisco
ATA's.  I plugged the Sipura in the same location as the Cisco ATA.
Anyone else have this condition with the Sipura?
   

Mine started doing this, and over the next few days it got so bad that the
device was unusable. Sipura didn't respond to the emails from me or the
reseller whom I purchased the device from, but the reseller offered a
refund. I'm not sure what ended up happening from the reseller's end once I
returned it.

which is why everywhere you look in the guides etc people say put something like:

in the general section, which (providing you weren't stupid enough to create a
[boguscalls] section worked well... in fact I'll go as far as quoting my own guide:
An important point here, if you do not have a sip aware firewall and are just using port forwarding then 
ensure that your context points to somewhere like invalidcalls. If you do not do this then 
someone could call one of your extensions direct from the Internet. If you had an FXO card in the machine, 
this could lead to them being able to make PSTN calls
Those people that didn't realize were more than likely using a guide to set up... 

I still stand by the fact that this feature should have been OFF in the first place.

Except that I *want* anyone to be able to call me directly from the 
Internet. That's the whole point -- we're trying to remove the necessity 
for a phone-company-like entity in the middle.

Instead, I suggest setting the default context for sip to something like 
sip-incoming-default and then include in the dialplan those things you 
wish people to be able to call directly.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] VoicePulse SIP

2004-05-22 Thread Brian Cuthie
I'm using Coloco now, which so far is working well.
Where companies like VoicePulse buy services from a patchwork of CLECs 
in order to cover their markets, Coloco is a CLEC. The upside is that 
you cut out the middleman. But if you need a number in an area they 
don't serve you'll need to find a different provider.

Coloco serves latas 236 and 238 (NPAs 301,240,410,443,703), which works 
well for me since I'm in 238. If you need numbers local to DC and 
central Maryland give them a shout (coloco.com). I hear they're also 
working with some other CLECs to get numbers in other areas but I don't 
have any details on that.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Dynamic SIP.CONF

2004-05-22 Thread Brian Cuthie
So I've been kind of struggling with the notion of making my Asterisk 
implementations dynamic, too. While I'd like to make everything directly 
database driven, I'm not sure Asterisk is quite there yet.

I've been thinking of writing something that creates appropriate 
configuration files from the database on a periodic basis, and then does 
an Asterisk reload. This would introduce a small delay into 
configuration changes, but it does have other benefits such as 
decoupling the design of the database from Asterisk.

Any thoughts?

Re: [Asterisk-Users] fwd on busy when calling multiple extensions at once

You might consider using the Cisco SIP phones. They're smart enough to 
accept incoming calls for as many call appearances you have with the 
same SIP registration.

Hi,
I am setting up a dispatch center where will have 4 call takers, all

extensions each. When a new call comes in, the first extension on all 
the phones will ring. This works fine, the problem is when one of the 
dispatchers is already using her first extension and another call 
comes in. What happens now is that the remaining 3 phones ring on the 
first extension, but the dispatcher who is on a call, her phone does 
not ring. I want her second extension ring along with the other 3 
phones first extensions.

In sip.conf I have all the extensions set to incominglimit=1 and the 
pertinent part of extensions.conf is:

exten = s,1,Dial(SIP/5000SIP5001SIP5002SIP5003,20,tr)
exten = s,2,Dial(SIP/5004SIP5005SIP5006SIP5007,20,tr)
and so on.
If anybody has any insight, or a better solution, that would be great.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Asterisk upgrade on production box

2004-05-21 Thread Brian Cuthie
I'm sure there are better ways, but I usually do the following:
1) make sure my current source directory is named something else (see 
step 3)

2) fetch cvs head
3) mv asterisk to something like asterisk_cvs_head_5_21. This keeps all 
the old source trees around so that I can easily roll back to any 
version I've installed previously.

4) cd to the new asterisk directory (whatever you called it in step 3)
5) make
7) asterisk -r
8) show channels to make sure nobody's using it
9) stop now
10) exit asterisk
11) make install
12) restart asterisk
Note that if you don't 'make samples' the stuff in /etc/asterisk won't 
get torched. This should be fine, assuming that the new version doesn't 
require any config changes. Naturally, you'll want to poke around in 
asterisk/configs to see what kind of new options are available.

we're not happy to say the Cisco 79x0 is the only phone that cares about

Hi Vic,
For your information Sipura also suffers from the Timestamp issue.  3
months ago when I opened the case with them, they explained in detail
why they needed those Timestamps (it has to do with the jitter buffer
calculation algorithms).  They told me the problem had to be solved at
the Asterisk side since there is no reason why the Timestamps should
change.  They have not seen this weird behaviour with any other SIP
system besides Asterisk.  In any case, thats why we came up with the
rtp.c hack, and have been happy ever since.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] AArgh, * and the 7960

2004-05-19 Thread Brian Cuthie
brian k. west wrote:
You know, I'm not so sure this is limited to chan_capi. I have two
asterisk boxes running, with one connected to my PSTN gateway (also
using Asterisk).  1.0 stable works fine with my Cisco phone. CVS head
works if I comment out the offending lines. Without commenting them out,
the cisco phones drop packets like crazy. No chan_api is involved.
   

I use two 7960s daily with cvs-head out two cisco gateways and in and out
via nufone IAX2 without issues.
The question is what is diffrent about your setup vs mine?
 

That's a good question. Let me describe my setup and when the problem 
occurs and when it doesn't and maybe it'll help in figuring out what's 
really going on here.

I have something that looks like this:
[PSTN Gateway *] -- 100Mb Ethernet -- [Systemix * svr] --  public 
Internet -- [local * server] -- 100Mb Ethernet -- [Cisco 7960]

(All inter-Asterisk communication is done using IAX)
In this configuration with the cvs head from 5/9 the Cisco phone works 
horribly (dropped/repeated? packets) unless I comment out the timestamp 
check in rtp.c. Stable seems to work pretty well. Now if I change the 
config so that it looks like this:

[PSTN Gateway *] -- 100Mb Ethernet -- [Systemix * svr] --  public 
Internet -- [Cisco 7960]

Things seem to work ok without having to make changes to rtp.c. So I've 
had a suspicion that it has something to do with delay or jitter that's 
introduced in the IAX channel that goes over the public Internet. But, 
as you say, this works fine for you. Could it be the extra * in the 
middle? That's one difference between our setups.

Now the big unknown here is which version of * my PSTN provider is 
running. I've asked them. I'm hopeful I'll eventually get an answer.

And as far as 'fixing' it goes, I would love to. I'm not without the
skill. But, while Asterisk is almost unbelievable in its features set,
some of the code is damn hard to grok. Some source files have as many as
8000 lines with virtually *no* comments. I don't think I've seen a
single function with a preamble describing what it does, or how it works.
   

Look at the .h files in include/asterisk/
 

I have, and while there is some documentation there, it's limited and 
does little to explain the actual code.

You're missing the point, Brian. Those comments were in response to your

No I'm getting it loud and clear. You have some IAX providers that do not
want to take care of customers when the software they use to provide service
to their customers needs an update they refuse or fail to upgrade.  Not our
problem if they choose not to.  If they update to cvs-head the problem will
go away and its backwards compatible with cvs-stable.   You can continue to
hack rtp.c or ask your providers to upgrade.  If they refuse to take care of
you then I would consider getting service elsewhere.
 

Yeah, right. And just how often should my service provider update their 
Asterisk installation? Daily? Weekly? Frankly, given that there's not 
even a 1.0 release of Asterisk I'm amazed any service providers are 
using it.

Asterisk is currently a rapidly moving target, as this very issue 
demonstrates. Once a 1.0 or 1.1 is released you can bet everyone will 
upgrade. Until then, all of us should probably keep our expectations in 
check.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] asterisk voicemail retrieval using a cisco 7940

2004-05-18 Thread Brian Cuthie
Graham,
You need to configure something in extensions.conf to access voicemail. 
I usually use something like this:

exten = 8500,1,VoiceMailMain(s${CALLERIDNUM})
exten = 8500,2,Congestion
Then you'll want to configure the voicemail URI on the 7940 so that it 
calls extension 8500.

One nice thing about the Cisco phone is that they will keep track of WMI 
separately for each configured line.

i have configured a single voicemail box using the script, the corresponding

box .
i can see from the asterisk console the message being passed to the voice

flashing red on the handset and the envelope on its console
it would seem further configuration work is required to access the voice

This is for leaving voicemail.  VoiceMailMain is for you to check voicemail.
 

i know there has been recent developements to the voicemail application

is this correct given a cvs download of early this month ??
   

It hasn't changed how you check/user voicemail.
 

2nd qu - where do i configure the 'voicemail uri'  - have been through the

I think you can do it via the phone.. I have always done it in the .cnf

It's in the SIP Configuration part of the phone setup. (Of course this

Subject: [Asterisk-Users] AArgh, * and the 7960


I've just had the most appalling performance from * ever.  Dialling:
Cisco 7960 = asterisk = IAX
produces sound drop outs so extreme that the call is useless. 
I noted this 
in an earlier post. Dialling:

Cisco ATA186 = asterisk = IAX
is fine.
Frankly, I think this is such a bad problem that it should be 
sorted in 
advance of any of the new features that seem to be getting 
such prominence 
nowadays.  It was not present earlier in the year and I 
haven't upgraded my 
7960.  So I don't think you can point the finger entirely in Cisco's 
direction.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] AArgh, * and the 7960

2004-05-18 Thread Brian Cuthie
You know, I'm not so sure this is limited to chan_capi. I have two 
asterisk boxes running, with one connected to my PSTN gateway (also 
using Asterisk).  1.0 stable works fine with my Cisco phone. CVS head 
works if I comment out the offending lines. Without commenting them out, 
the cisco phones drop packets like crazy. No chan_api is involved.

And as far as 'fixing' it goes, I would love to. I'm not without the 
skill. But, while Asterisk is almost unbelievable in its features set, 
some of the code is damn hard to grok. Some source files have as many as 
8000 lines with virtually *no* comments. I don't think I've seen a 
single function with a preamble describing what it does, or how it works.

And I don't mean any offense by this. As I said, Asterisk is a truly 
amazing piece of software. But if the original developers, who really 
know how this stuff works, could put some effort into documenting the 
code with some comments, their efforts will pay off ten-fold when others 
are able to start helping them maintain it.

Cheers,

I did what you said, captured Ethereal traces, found that timestamps do

The problem isn't with asterisk chan_capi will have to be updated to deal
with the changes.
   

Now I know that chan_capi doesn't belong to Digium, and I know that
 

you're
 

all trying to get a 1.0 release out.  But this problem is really hurting
my business, and right now destroying any chance that I might start
offering Asterisk as part of commercial solutions.
 

I don't see these issues in any other channel driver.
   

Now, kapejod is not replying to my e-mails, and markster's suggestion
(from another bug report) of zeroing out the delivery field in
 

chan_capi's
 

read function did not work.  So hacking is all I have left if I want to
keep using Asterisk -- which I do, because I think it's a great program
with a pretty good community around it.
 

Where are you ethereal traces so I can look over them.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] SoftPhone to SoftPhone with No Voice

2004-05-14 Thread Brian Cuthie
Do you have iptables turned on with rules that restrict packets to the 
RTP ports?  Try doing an iptables --flush then see if it works. If so, 
you'll need to open up the UDP ports that RTP is configured to use.

Normally Asterisk would open up the firewall by sending packets out 
those ports, but when both sides of the call live outside the firewall 
(iptables in this case) and they're both SIP you'll have this problem. 
See my previous posting for a more detailed explanation (or email me 
directly).

I'd be wary of 4kft even if it could do it. Thats a long way for
something to short/introduce power and fry your complete computer.  It
would be pretty easy to put a cheap pc local and run a few feet of
cable. This is especially true if you run more than one line. 
 

Shorts won't be a problem since any reasonably designed FXS interface 
has current limiting. In fact, it's this current limiting and the 
relatively low loop voltage (I'm guessing 24V on a card of this type) 
that will restrict usable loop length. As you point out, induced 
transients are also a problem. So if you have a long loop make sure you 
put telco surge arrestors on each end.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Asterisk, Configuration of SDP in SIP messages

2004-05-13 Thread Brian Cuthie
Alex,

The media ports are configured in rtp.conf.  Also, note that Asterisk 
sends RTP packets out the same ports it expects them to return on. This 
has the effect of creating a NAT mapping for that 5-tuple, as well as 
opening a hole in your firewall (naturally, YMMV depending on exactly 
what you're running for a firewall).

One interesting consequence of the way Asterisk works is that if you 
don't have anything behind the NAT/Firewall that's generating RTP 
packets (ie, no audio) no hole gets made and incoming packets will get 
rejected.  I recently ran into an interesting problem with two SIP 
phones trying to talk through Asterisk behind a (non-NAT) firewall. 

The problem was both phones were sending RTP to the Asterisk box but the 
firewall was blocking both RTP streams because Asterisk never sent any 
RTP out those ports. And the reason Asterisk hadn't sent RTP out those 
ports was because it was waiting for RTP from each of the two SIP 
phones. This was the classic chicken-and-egg scenario. 

I resolved it by opening up the firewall for the range of ports I had 
configured Asterisk to use for RTP.  A better solution would be fore 
Asterisk to always send a starter RTP packet so that it can ensure 
that the firewall opens up.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Musical interruptions

You know, I've seen something that may be related. We occasionally get 
DTMF inserted into the middle of a call, when no party on either end has 
pushed any buttons. I suspect something goes wrong and some data packet 
is mistakenly believed to contain out-of-band DMTF signalling and the * 
box is faithfully inserting it into the stream. But this is just a total 
guess. Perhaps you're seeing another manifistation of the same issue.

Hi Joseph,

I'll assume you mean a 7960 with the SIP image...

Yes, you can register the same SIP client multiple times. Each line 
appearance on a 7960 configured for SIP is a separate SIP client. Each 
can register with completely different SIP proxies (providers) or you 
can have several registrations for the same directory number (DN) so 
that instead of call waiting, additional calls appear at the next 
available line appearance.

I can't answer your coded question since I always use g.711ulaw.

 == Spawn extension (default, 6900, 2) exited non-zero on '[EMAIL PROTECTED]/5'
   -- Hungup '[EMAIL PROTECTED]/5'
Alas, the 'mpg123' processes live on...

4049 pts/22   S  0:00  \_ asterisk -vc
4050 pts/22   S  0:00  |   \_ mpg123 -q -s --mono -r 8000 -b

4063 pts/22   S  0:00  |   \_ mpg123 -q -s --mono -r 8000 
-b 2048 -f 8192 sample-hold.mp3

In fact, if I redial ext 6900, I get played the MoH sample from the point at which 
mpg123 has reached in the mp3, rather than getting it from the start.

The MusicOnHold docs say: Returns -1 on hangup. Never returns otherwise. 

I beg to differ :) Is this a bug, or have I made some fundamental mistake?

[Asterisk-Users] Strange IAX behaviors

2004-04-25 Thread Brian Cuthie
I've been setting up a couple of * boxes with IAX trunking between 
them.  But I've been seeing some strange IAX behavior.  Asterisk version 
is latest CVS-04/21/04-18:10:19.

Here's what I'm doing: the boxes are peers, and I have setup my iax.conf 
file to look something like this:

 machine1 

[iaxuser]
type=friend
username=iaxuser
secret=foo
auth=md5
context=iaxuser-incoming
host=machine2
 machine2 

[iaxuser]
type=friend
username=iaxuser
secret=foo
auth=md5
context=iaxuser-incoming
host=machine1
Now where things get weird is when I put the following line in the 
extensions.conf file of machine1

switch = IAX2/iaxuser

authentication fails during dialing when machine2 sends the challenge 
for authentication. The reason is that the username sent with the 
challenge isn't the one defined for iaxuser.

Now, interestingly, if I change the switch line to include the user name

switch = IAX2/[EMAIL PROTECTED]

things work great! 

Anybody have any idea what's happening here? Is this a bug? I would 
think that the username would be implied by the definition for the 
connection (as it seems to be for Dial(IAX2/iaxuser/${EXTEN})).

Another interesting thing that I've seen is that if a call comes in 
through an IAX connection and then tries to do a remote diaplan 
translation using 'switch', it seems to fail with a message stating that 
there's no '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' (where  is the number to match, 
and 'incoming-context' is the context defined for calls from my IAX 
provider). I've triple checked the dialplan, and I'm convinced it's not 
the problem. Changing the incoming-context to use 
Dial(IAX2/iaxuser/) works fine (notice that I don't need to 
explicitly define the username here as I did with the 'switch' parameter).

Cheers,

Brian

Re: [Asterisk-Users] Ok, Im confused

2004-04-22 Thread Brian Cuthie
Not exactly :-)

Actually, you can get FWD to work through a NAT. SIP will send its 
registration requests out the same port it expects a response on. This 
will create a mapping in your NAT so that when INVITEs appear from FWD 
the NAT can figure out which local host to send them to. Same thing 
happens with SIP between the caller and the local machine. RTP does the 
same trick too. I do this all the time with a Linksys router without any 
difficulty.

Now things get a little more complicated if you have more than one SIP 
device behind the firewall that's trying to talk to the outside world.  
You'll need to configure each to use a unique SIP port, as well as a 
unique range of RTP ports. If not, the NAT will see more than one 
local_ip:proto:port tuple and will have to remap the port as the packet 
leaves the router. But since the VIA header in the SIP packets will 
refer to the original port, incoming SIP traffic will end up at the 
wrong local host. With * you can avoid these problems by having all 
traffic go through the * box. Do this by adding reinvite=no to your 
sip.conf, and configure your SIP phones to use * as a proxy. Do not turn 
on NAT in the SIP phones.

Actual firewalls (as apposed to just NATs like on a Linksys) may pose 
additional problems depending on how they're configured. But that's 
probably now what you're experiencing.

Cheers,

-brian

The simple answer probably is, If you have a NAT firewall (like a linksys,
netgear, dlink, etc) it will not work.
If your linux machine is directly connected follow the instructions on the
wiki and it will work no problems.  I could not get FWD to work at all until
I made my linux box  the outside edge of my network.

replace FWD##  with your freeworlddialup number and mypassword with

[Asterisk-Users] IAX config documentation

2004-04-19 Thread Brian Cuthie
Is there any documentation on configuring IAX between * machines?  I've 
noticed references to many topics in the config files, including:

- dialplans
- trunking
- authentication
- transfers
But before I go and try to grok 8000 lines of source (in one file, no 
less) I was hoping that somewhere there exists even something like a man 
page that describes the configuration options.

There's the beginnings of a whitepaper on wiki, but it's 
self-contradictory in some places, largely incomplete, and just kind of 
ends abruptly. Yet, it mentions that growing contingent of IAX devices. Huh.

Trunking is easy, think of it kind of like a channelized t1. It combines
many calls into one packet with call data so as to reduce the overhead

down on the overhead in IP, and allows you to reclaim some of the
bandwidth for more calls.

You do want to know who is trying to call you don't you?

Allows you to get out of the middle of a call. My office loves these as
our trunk lines are remote, and when we forward a call out to another
trunk line, our local asterisk machine transfers the call back to the
machine with trunk lines and removes the VoIP part of the loop.

Should FAX transmission generally work through Asterisk and a TDM400P

I may be missing something here, but I'll make this suggestion just in 
case you haven't already considered it.

Have your phone register multiple call appearances with the same DN. For 
instance, my 7960 has three appearances of 2205. Calls are 
automatically offered to the first available appearance, kind of like 
what you'd expect. I think this is the behavior you're looking for, but 
you may be trying to do it he hard way.

Yeah, I agree. I did some digging and they look like they're just 
reselling Transbeam service. I'm going to continue to look for a new 
service provider.

[Asterisk-Users] VoicePlus

2004-04-11 Thread Brian Cuthie
Title: VoicePlus







I've been using VoicePlus for a few days now, and overall I'm fairly pleased. But one thing that truly scares me is that the drop-down box on their site where you re-charge your account has values that go all the way to $10,000.(!) I'm deathly afraid that one day in a drunken stupor I'll go to recharge for $30 and end up unwittingly adding $10K to my account. I've suggested that they remedy this, but it would be nice if other VP users who have similar feelings would contact them.

Cheers,


Brian





RE: [Asterisk-Users] No ringing tone with IAXY (and other bits and bobs)

What version of the Asterisk code are you running? 1_0 stable is definitely
broken wrt ringback, and the latest stuff seems really broken in all kinds
of ways. After seeing that others were having similar problems, and that
someone had solved many of them by rolling back to the CVS version from 3/5,
I tried the same and things are working marvelously (well, mostly).

 Hi!
 
 I'm really hope you can help me solve a little mystery, the 
 mystery is probably just my misunderstanding ! sorry...
 
 I've got an iaxy talking to my * box which connects to two providers.
 I'm running the stable release of the pbx.
 
 The only thing is that when dialling from the iaxy the 
 ringing tone isn't heard while calling someone - you just 
 hear silence then, they either answer or they don't on the remote end.
 
 From my extensions.conf is the following - I tried putting the ,r in 
 and
 it doesn't help.  Is there some other option I could try here ?
 
 Also I'm getting quite a bit of echo noticed at the remote 
 end as well as the iaxy end.  All lines are digital, I guess 
 only the jitter buffer is there to be tweaked to try and help ?
 
 There is also this echo problem with the sipura, but not with 
 an ATA186 or snom.  The lack of a ringing tone is only with the iaxy.
 
 The Answer,Hangup lines were to solve 'busy' situations with 
 SIP phones, without this or even with 'Congestion' they just 
 rang forever if a number was busy.  They seem to need the 
 'Answer' line.
 
 If you know a nicer or more correct way for me to do this 
 please let me know as most times the SIP phone user will hear 
 half a ring and then the hangup noise generated by the SIP 
 device when a number they call is busy.
 
 Many thanks!!

Probably for the same reason you charge for your services. Software takes

RE: [Asterisk-Users] 1.0_stable is or isn't? (Was: No ringing tone...)

2004-04-10 Thread Brian Cuthie

When I installed 1_0_STABLE, ringback stopped working completely on all
calls through the TDM400P. I can't recall if the SIP phones stopped
generating ringback also.

Latest builds (as of yesterday) seem to have problems with dropouts,
especially with IAX connections. I was seeing dropouts and repeated packets
(think Max Headroom) over IAX channels. Checking voicemail from a SIP phone
resulted in dropouts pretty consistently when it was playing menus. Now,
mind you, I'm not really complaining, since this is not released code. This
is from the development CVS tree. But, in my experience it does seem to be
broken.

However, 3/5 seems to work well for me. Although I am having some trouble
with Zapateller.

Cheers,

brian

  Could you qualify your statement above about 1-0_stable

 here at work and have noticed faxing over SIP much more 
 stable, but a couple of momentary dropouts on outside calls 
 (GS bt101 - x100p POTS), usually after silence in the conversation.

[Asterisk-Users] Problems with Zpateller on incoming external calls

2004-04-09 Thread Brian Cuthie
Title: Problems with Zpateller on incoming external calls







I've setup the following in extensions.con:


exten = 2200,1,Ringing

exten = 2200,2,Wait(2)

exten = 2200,3,Answer

exten = 2200,4,Zapateller

exten = 2200,5,Macro(stdexten,2205,SIP/2205)


This works as expected if I dial from a SIP phone on my desk. However, if I dial in from the PSTN (through a SIP provider) it fails while trying to play ths SIT with:

Apr 8 18:53:12 WARNING[1209269552]: rtp.c:407 ast_rtp_read: RTP Read error: Resource temporarily unavailable


Any idea what's going on? My suspicion is that the PSTN gateway hasn't setup an audio path yet, although I thought Answer would do that.

Cheers,


Brian





RE: [Asterisk-Users] Problems with Zpateller on incoming external calls

2004-04-09 Thread Brian Cuthie

Tried that, and no go. There's something wrong with Zapteller. It works fine
on internal calls, but the only way I can get it to work on external calls
(through a SIP/PSTN gateway, no Zap hw necessary) is to first play a
message. For instance, this works:

 exten = 2200,1,Playback(ss-noservice)
 exten = 2200,2,Zapateller
 exten = 2200,3,Dial(SIP/2205)

[Asterisk-Users] SIP -- PSTN gateways

2004-04-07 Thread Brian Cuthie
Title: SIP -- PSTN gateways







So what are people using these days for SIP or IAX to PSTN gateways. 


1. Do any of the standard companies (Packet8, Broadvox, Vonage, etc.) allow you to use your own SIP device (phone or something like *) instead of the interface hardware they usually provide? 

2. What about latency and reliability? 


3. Finally, do any of the providers deliver more than one call via SIP? In otherwords, if I'm already on a call and another comes in will they attempt to deliver it?

Thanks

 It might be a good idea to move away from mpg123 as it is no 
 longer supported and there are bound to be more problems like 
 this.  MAD seems to be what everyone is migrating to...  At 
 the very least, not hardcoding a player into the codebase 
 would probably be a good idea (if it is hardcoded, I couldn't 
 find a config file for it...).
 

The app is hard-coded. Take a look at res_musiconhold.c (in the res sub
directory of the Asterisk source). At the vere least you can change the
source and recompile if you want to use a different player app.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Disambiguating incoming IAXTel calls

2004-04-06 Thread Brian Cuthie

Hmmm... So I tried this with an iax.conf file that looks like this:

register = username1:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
register = username2:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

; calls coming into 1-700-xxx-xxx1
[username1]
type=user
context=iaxtel-incoming-username1
auth=rsa
inkeys=iaxtel

; calls coming into 1-700-xxx-xxx2
[usrname2]
type=user
context=iaxtel-incoming-username2
auth=rsa
inkeys=iaxtel

[iaxtel]
type=user
context=iaxtel-incoming
auth=rsa
inkeys=iaxtel

The problem is that all calls are coming in as user [iaxtel]. I've verified
this by turning iax2 debug on and looking at the traces.

Am I doing somethig wrong? Or can you just not get there from here?

Cheers,

 You should have two type=user entries in your iax.conf, one 
 for each account.  Make sure each one specifies a different 
 context, and set up extensions.conf appropriately.

 Asterisk SIP does not support silence suppression. In fact, 
 using Silence suppression on an inbound RTP stream will lead 
 to problems, since Asterisk takes timing from inbound RTP streams.
 

Yeah, funny thing is I saw this problem just last night while messing around
with music on hold. I had VAD on the SIP phone on and the MOH would stop
unless I talked. I thought it was quite weird when it happened; now it makes
sense. 

I've heard that Asterisk derives its timing in strange ways, but I've been
wondering why it doesn't use the machine's clock (real-time interrupt, not
wall-clock).

 Subject: [Asterisk-Users] Buzzing on TDM400P FXS?
 
 I have an intermittent problem with the one FXS line that I 
 have.  On most calls, the first ~5 seconds of the call has a 
 loud buzzing noise on the line.  After 5 seconds or so, it 
 fades off to nothing, and the sound quality is great.  
 Searching for buzzing on the list doesn't give a whole lot 
 to work with.  The buzzing happens on calls that are routed 
 over both my FXO line and IAX to NuFone, so I'm pretty sure 
 that it's happening on the FXS end.
 
 Here's that chunk of zapata.conf:

[Asterisk-Users] Disambiguating incoming IAXTel calls

Title: Disambiguating incoming IAXTel calls







I have two 1-700 numbers from IAXTel. Both get registered from the same Asterisk server. I can make and receive calls on each without any difficulty. What I can't figure out how to do is route the incoming calls differently based on which 1-700 number is dialed. I must be missing something obvious.

RE: [Asterisk-Users] Auto connect to voicemail

2004-04-05 Thread Brian Cuthie

I use something like this:

exten = 8500,1,Ringing
exten = 8500,2,Wait,1
exten = 8500,3,VoicemailMain(s${CALLERIDNUM})

Basically, this rings the phone for once second (thus setting up the audio
path), then goes to voicemail without requiring the password. Leave out the
's' to have VM prompt for the password.

[Asterisk-Users] ISDN BRI-U card suggestion for use in USA

2004-04-01 Thread Brian Cuthie
Title: ISDN BRI-U card suggestion for use in USA







Hello,


I'm looking for an ISDN BRI-U interface for use in the US. I'm primarily interested in using the BRI as a trunking interface into the PSTN with Asterisk. Naturally, cheaper is better.

I currently use a Nortel Norstar system with BRI-U trunks, and really like the digital PSTN interface. Would really like to replace the whole mess with Asterisk but want to keep the ISDN trunks. Since this for use in a small SOHO installation, PRI is kind of out of the question.

Any suggestions??


Thanks

I don't have a problem paying for updates, even if they include bug fixes. I

[Asterisk-Users] Chan_phone problems

2004-03-29 Thread Brian Cuthie
Title: Chan_phone problems







Hi All,


I'm really new to Asterisk, and I'm having a little trouble with my test setup. Things are pretty simple so far:


 Linux 2.4 kernel (Redhat 9)

 Linux PhoneJack-Lite interface


What happens is that I get dialtone, but dialing doesn't seem to do anything. I neither get connected to whatever I dialied, nor do I lose dialtone.

I'm pretty sure I'm doing something dumb, and any help is greatly appreciated.


One general question I have regards interfaces and incoming calls. I think I basically understand the dialplan concept, but it seems to deal soley with where a call goes. What I can't seem to figure out is how Asterisk configures input channels.

Cheers,


Brian

 ### Hardware != Software
 ###
 
 Cisco IOS Software, phone firmware, etc. is normally bundled 
 with hardware at the time of purchase, because, frankly, the 
 hardware isn't really of much use without software. You may 
 resell the hardware (which, looking at eBay, happens 
 frequently), but the software license DOES NOT transfer from 
 one end user to another. There are only a few exceptions to 
 this rule, such as for business affiliates, mergers, 
 acquisitions, lease buyouts, and outsourcing arrangements.

Frankly, this is a horrible policy. It's designed to eliminate the market
for used gear so that vendors can force people to buy new equipment.
Frankly, anyone with this business model should be ashamed. And anyone
buying equipment under such circumstances should beware. The assets they
think they're purchasing today have substantially less value than they think
since they can't effectively resell them when they're no longer needed.

 It's just the rule of the game, and the game plan is called 
 by the author (not the user). Its not a lot different then 
 80% of the software vendors charging a large fee to upgrade 
 when the first digit changes (eg, v1.x to v2.x), just 
 different words. 

No, it's hugely different. We're not talking about support and ongoing
maintenance releases, we're talking about the right to use the software
already in the used box you jusy bought.

It's just wrong, and the only thing that keeps them from doing it with the
hardware is that the FTC would come after them for restraint of trade. Since
SW is considered IP and is 'licsensed' rather than sold, all the normal
rules don't apply.

What I suspect large customers do is negotiate contracts that include a
transferable software license. As always it's the little guys who get
screwed.
